What anesthesia should i use for my rhinoplasty?

Choice: You should discuss this with your surgeon and anesthesiologist. The decision depends on your medical comorbidities, what your "airway" looks like, and your surgeon's comfort level. The usual choices are between mac (no tube) or general (with a breathing tube). Both can be safe for the right patient.

General: This has advantages for both you and the surgeon. You will then have the upmost comfort and the surgeon will have the most controlled situation, where lack of movement/immobility is crucial for operating.

General: General anesthesia is usually used, though some doctors will use sedation combined with local anesthesia. I would not suggest local anesthesia alone.

Depends on you/md: There are many types of rhinoplasty and rhinoplasty patients. The type of rhinoplasty required will vary from patient to patient and from nose to nose. The same is true for the type of anesthesia. Some procedures are easier than others under local. Most are performed under anesthesia for your comfort and safety. Discuss your options with your chosen surgeon.

Anesthesia : What options were u given? My answer generally is to go for the method that exposes u the least to meds. Think about it, we don't know how half the stuff works!

The safest chioce: Although i tend to use sedation and lighter forms of anesthesia for most of my cosmetic cases, for most rhinoplasties i prefer general anesthesia with intubation. The reason for this is that it protects the patient's airway from aspirating any blood that may pool in the back of the throat from the surgery. Speak to your surgeon and ask for their recommendation.

Sedation: This procedure can usually be done with IV sedation and the use of local anesthesia. Rarely the surgeon will opt for a full general anesthetic.
